Cfiuckholes Come
Every Winter
The cliuckholes between here
and Genola are an abomination
in tlie eyes of the gfood-road enthusiast. And they are furthermore an abomination to the
stomacli of him who drives over
them after a heavy meal. Why
these cliuckholes should make
their annual appearance only
between here and Genola is
strange. They do not seem to
thrive with the same persistency anywhere else.
Stones in the summer and
cliuckholes in the winter !
Who would be held to "strict
accountability" for Bob Dunn's
deatli from shock should the
misfortune of driving- over this
road ever befall that good-road
thunderer of Princeton !
But let us bear our burdens
meekly. Perhaps it is decreed
that there must ever be some
hindrance to free and easy
transportation between our infant sister clown south and ourselves.
No Summer One
Hundred Years Ago
Some of our contemporaries
are speculating- over the possibility that the year 1916 will be
summerless. The year 1816,
after the disastrous end of the
Napoleonic wars, had scarcely
enough summer to be worth
mentioning-, and the theory seemed to be that tlie terrific bombardments on European battlefields are bound to have a similar effect upon weather conditions next year.
June of 1816, we are told, was
a month of frost and ice. New
England, Ohio and Pennsylvania
were covered with snow. June
17 there was a great snowstorm,
and iiocks of sheep were overwhelmed and suffocated. The
ice was an inch thick on the
fourth of July, and August 20
witnessed a heavy fall of snow.
Not until September were normal climatic conditions restored.
Tlie nation is that history will
repeat itself after the passage
of a century, and the alarming
thought in this connection is
that if the amount of explosives
used in the Napoleonic war
caused all that derangement of
meteorological conditions, then
| the amount used in the present
war is likely to keep the temperature at 40 below zero at
least all next summer. Tf that
should prove to be the case it
surely is time for universal disarmament.—Ohio State Journal.
